Despite earlier reports from multiple sources which seemed to reveal that Matt Carle wanted to remain with the Flyers and wanted to sign here and that the Flyers wanted him, Carle instead pulled a switcheroo on America’s birthday. The powers of persuasion from Tampa Bay general manager Steve Yzerman were too great, and Carle was signed to a six-year contract. Multiple media reports, including NHL.com, revealed the deal is worth a total of $33.5 million for the duration, with an average annual value of $5.5 million. And so, one of the more polarizing figures in recent club history will no …

Mika Pyorala was signed by the Philadelphia Flyers in June of 2009. Even though the Finn never played a game in the NHL, the Flyers believed Pyorala proved himself enough in the SM-liiga and Elitserien to earn a shot in North America. With a cap hit of $500,000 for the 2009-2010 season, Pekka Rinne’s brother-in-law posted pretty decent numbers for the Flyers and the Phantoms. In his 36 games with the Orange and Black, Pyorala had two goals and two assists. His first goal as a Flyer was important, as he potted one in a 3-2 win over the Los Angeles Kings on November …

Oh Danny Boy, the ice, the ice is calling… One of three signings by the Flyers on Day Three of Free Agency, Danny Syvret is back for his third turn with the franchise. The 27-year-old defenseman spent last year in the American Hockey League with the Blues’ affiliate in Peoria, tallying seven goals and 42 points in 75 games for the Rivermen. He suited up for a four-game stint with the Flyers two seasons ago, failing to record a point, but appeared in 51 games for the Adirondack Phantoms after his re-acquisition from Anaheim — scoring 10 times with 26 …

CBA 101 Part 7: One-way vs. two-way contracts

By Kevin Christmann
Posted on 07/02/2012 at 1:00 pm

I actually touched on the topic of one-way versus two-way contracts in my very first CBA 101 article about waivers and re-entry waivers. However, when the Flyers signed Michael Leighton yesterday I saw Twitter abuzz with people who were appalled with the fact that he got a one-way contract (to be fair, there were also plenty of people that understood the distinction that I’m about to discuss as well). I thought I would specifically call out this topic as I frequently see it being misunderstood. People tend to think that if a player signs a two-way contract, that that player …
